Mort Harris Fitness and Recreation Center

Poorly maintained. Management is clearly ineffective. Would benefit from an entire staff turnover. Can not recommend.

The WSU school gym I recently visited was a disappointment. It was evident that the gym was not being properly managed or maintained, creating a dangerous and unhygienic environment. The equipment was in disrepair, with broken machines scattered throughout the facility. The floors were dirty and cluttered full of tripping hazards. The lack of regular cleaning and sanitization was apparent, as sweat stains and grime covered the equipment surfaces.

In very poor condition for such a popular / school gym.

The staff do nothing other than stay glued to their phones. Very dirty and dusty facilities. Needs a serious makeover.

I'm be honest, the gym isn't in the greatest condition but it works great. Even if it's kinda busy, it has what you'd need to get a good set in

Nice fitness center! I love how they have a women workout section!!

No guest pass after 6 randomly and no reasoning when they close at 11 and I show up at 615… worst school gym.

Gym won't let me bring my husband without him paying even though I'm a student at the University.

On campus and convenient. Several machines to use.

If you live in the Midtown area, this is one of your few choices for a gym. It's generally never too busy and they have a decent mix of options, assuming the machine you want to use isn't broken. Aside from that, the facility is the result of years of neglect, deferred maintenance, and lack of oversight and actual management.I understand the university wants to employ students, but it's common to see 5 or 6 "employees" at the front desk, all on their phones. They could be cleaning the 2 inch thick layer of dust that's been under the dumbbells for my entire four years I've gone here or investigating the strong mold smell that permeates throughout the basement level.There's a student downstairs making sure the rules are followed. Their on their phone the entire time while novice gym goers missuse and break equipment that takes months to fix. Women have their own section, which is nice. But that doesn't stop other people from performing hip thrusts on the deadlift platform or decline bench. So feel free to deadlift wherever you find room.Prior to COVID, they actually used to enforece their gym policies. I'd be the victim at times of "slamming" deadlifts too hard. At least then they actually enforced the rules. Now they simply took down those signs and the employees perform very little work.Advice to management and WSU leadership. Clean house and hire fewer students and use their salary to go toward preventative maintenance, fixing the half dozen or so broken machines and cardio equipment, and replace aging and dangerous machines.
